I wonder when the advertising transition occurred from “glare reduction” to “get rid of your prescription glasses”…

/for those that don’t know, pinhole glasses have been marketed as a way to “strengthen your eye muscles” or some other such woo, so you don’t have to were prescription eyeglasses anymore – it’s a crock, though…

Yo, Charlie, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Shutter Shades has some of the best glasses of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Glasses make you look like a geek no matter how high fashion they are.

I understand this is actually a bad idea – like old-style sunglasses that don’t block UV, this allows UV through all o’ them little holes, into irises opened by the dim light level. It’s like the worst of both worlds. In the short run it might be better than nothing – beats going snowblind; the Eskimos made something similar – but an ophthalmologist would wince.
